I would like to experiment with an extension that removes a selection (provided there are multiple selections active). I don't think that's possible with the current api.

I want to do something like this:

var textEditor = vscode.window.activeTextEditor;
var selections = textEditor.selections;
if (selections.length > 1) {
  textEditor.removeSelection(selections[selections.length - 1]);
}

It is, by just setting a different selection array

Remove the first selection:

var textEditor = vscode.window.activeTextEditor;
var selections = textEditor.selections;

textEditor.selections = selections.slice(1);

Thanks, I assumed it was readonly.

In general readonly properties have the @readonly jsdoc tag
